PRINTING FREEDOM
For one upfront price, Epson EcoTank printers come with enough ink in the box to print 1000s of pages1, without worrying about ongoing ink replacement and costs.

HIGH-VOLUME INK BOTTLES
Additional low-cost ink can be bought in a convenient high-volume bottle that has a drip-free nozzle and resealable cap for easy storage and refilling. We have redesigned our ink bottles to incorporate a unique key system to ensure more precise refilling to avoid spillage. The ink bottles also incorporates a pressure mechanism so the bottle automatically stops exerting ink once the ink tank is full. Replacement bottles hold enough ink for a massive 7,500 pages in black / 6,000 pages in colour1.

POWERED BY PRECISIONCORE™
The EcoTank ET-5170 is powered by heat-free PrecisionCore technology which uses a revolutionary high-density print chip that can generate up to 40 million precise dots per second with amazing accuracy, producing professional-quality output at fast speeds. No heat also means less power consumption, fewer consumables and less intervention, which saves you time and money.
DO MORE
The EcoTank ET-5170 allows your home office to do more in one small, space saving package. It features a front paper tray with a 250-sheet paper capacity so you can load less often. You have the ability to scan and copy a lot of original documents with the convenient 35-page Automatic document feeder. Plus save paper with auto 2-sided printing.
HIGH-SPEED FAXING
Fax as fast as 3 seconds per page, save up to 100 pages in memory, and store up to 100 numbers. Using the included PC-Fax, you can even send a colour fax right from your computer. It is a great way to save time and paper.
